Tamayura (Relatos/ Short Stories) [Spanish]

Libro in dito de Yasunari Kawabata, el legendario Nobel japon s.


El presente libro contiene diez relatos con historias entrelazadas, a veces porque los protagonistas comparten el mismo nombre, otras, por su car cter sutilmente sobrenatural, y casi siempre porque tienen el amor --y el dolor que nace de l-- como tema central. In dito hasta ahora en castellano, Seix Barral lo presenta en esta oportunidad en traducci n directa del japon s.


Cada uno de estos relatos fue primero publicado en revistas literarias entre 1951 y 1956, a os en los que la pobreza y la desolaci n de un Jap n en ruinas traumatizaron a una generaci n abatida por la derrota en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Este es el contexto hist rico en el que el autor desarrolla estas historias. En ellas, como en muchas de sus obras posteriores, la guerra y la rendici n de Jap n marcan un antes y un despu s en la vida de los personajes y es un hecho hist rico que est omnipresente como paisaje de fondo.


"El relato que abre este libro, La luna en el agua, es una obra de arte en s misma y puede que contenga lo mejor y m s representativo de Kawabata: lo extraordinario en lo ordinario, la dicotom a entre realidad e ilusi n, la enfermedad como una visi n peculiar del mundo, la locura, la belleza sutil de los detalles que podr an pasar f cilmente inadvertidos, el amor de una mujer." --Tana Oshima


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


An unpublished book by Yasunari Kawabata, the legendary Japanese Nobel laureate.


This book contains ten stories with interconnected narratives, sometimes because the protagonists share the same name, other times due to their subtly supernatural nature, and almost always because they revolve around love--and the pain that stems from it--as a central theme. Previously unpublished in Spanish, Seix Barral now presents it in this edition with a direct translation from Japanese.


Each of these stories was first published in literary magazines between 1951 and 1956, years during which the poverty and desolation of a war-torn Japan traumatized a generation burdened by the defeat in World War II. This is the historical context in which the author sets these narratives. In them, as in many of his later works, the war and Japan's surrender mark a before and after in the characters' lives, serving as an ever-present backdrop.


"The opening story in this book, The Moon in the Water, is a masterpiece in itself and might encapsulate the best and most representative qualities of Kawabata: the extraordinary in the ordinary, the dichotomy between reality and illusion, illness as a peculiar worldview, madness, the subtle beauty of details that might easily go unnoticed, the love of a woman." --Tana Oshima
